Stephen Amell Reveals The Duration Of His ARROW Contract

Stephen Amell Reveals The Duration Of His ARROW Contract

How long will Arrow last on The CW? Fans have long theorized that the show would end after the fifth season as Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) was stranded on the island of Lian Yu for that length of time but the duration of Amell's contract may shed new light.

Actor Stephen Amell took to facebook to quell rumors that he was leaving Arrow and/or that the show was ending.  Arrow first hit airwaves in 2012 and is current in its fourth season.  The predominant fan theory is that the show will end after the fifth season as Oliver Queen was stranded on the Lian Yu for five years and the show would no longer have one of its staples, the flashback scenes.   However, the specifics of Amell's contract would imply that there's potential for at least 7 seasons of Arrow as Amell's contract with The CW runs until 2019. 

While his contract runs until 2019, Amell is quick to mention that doesn't necessarily guarantee that Arrow will continue for another three seasons.  The Arrow showrunners have gone on to develop The Flash and CBS' Supergirl, along with numerous other side projects such as writing novels and comic books.  Executive producers Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg have already brought in new showrunners to share the load but if the show falls in the ratings or they decide the show has creatively run its course it's hard to imagine Arrow continuing until 2019. 



 

Facebook... I keep reading that I'm leaving Arrow. I'm not. I have a contract that runs through 2019. At least. Now......

Joe I think we can find many broken rules of physiques in CBM's. Especially in the TV shows.

Hopefully, it's done long before then. I looooooved Arrow seasons 1 and 2, but it's just lost me now and become a soap opera with the occasion ma good episode.

Season 2 was the high point in the show. They should go ahead and cancel the show after 5 seasons and just put him in Legends Of Tomorrow future seasons and have it run alongside The Flash.

The Flash still has a lot going for it but the steam will eventually run out.

@ MagnusShadowX

Why can't a bullet kill a flying ant? I've seen a marksman throw baby aspirin into the air and shoot them with a .22 rifle one after another! The bullet's shockwave doesn't push them out of the path and they're almost as light as an ant!

I laugh at thats the reason, they would cancel the show, because they can no longer do the flashbacks, they could still do flashbacks, just no longer about the 5 years, do flashbacks to villains origin stories

I personally wish they would move Felicity and Diggle to the flashbacks, where the stupid "OTA" fans, would get their wish (set the flashbacks in between the episodes of Season 1 & 2), and then present day could be a lot closer to the comics (without Felicity and Diggle). Plus, have Season 5 end with Ollie finally achieving his goal, saving the city and making Star City be on its way to becoming Metropolis, rather than Gotham...a place people actually like to live in. then future seasons can have Oliver continuing to guard the city with Green Arrow being his job, rather than the chore he sometimes makes it out to be

The show runners don't run the show anymore???? No wonder season 2 was the peak and shows like Flash have the better written and thought out shows.

It's great reading the comments from all the screen writers and experts on here.
I think it's fare to say most people are a bit board with felicity and personally I've never had a problem with Diggle but this show is not bad but you have to remember the limitations of a 22 episode season it's not like game of thrones you have to spread the budget a lot more
If you want a show to really moan about agents of shield is one big budget piece of boredom

When Ray shrinks, shouldn't his voice go up a few octaves? Why doesn't it? That would be great.

How so? He's obviously not too heavy for it, if he can ride around on ants.

Why should he worry anyways, he's now got Legends Of Tomorrow, whole new show to continue... Hopefully that will take off and with good ratings too

Wait...did they ever explain how Ant-Man can punch people "because he retains the weight of his matter", but doesn't kill an Ant every time he rides on one?
